Free-spirited Illegitimate Son

There is a teahouse near the Yamen of Yin County. It was originally a place for servants to rest their feet. The servants would come here to sit and watch what happened in the county every morning after ordering. ; There is an elegant room on the second floor of the tea shop, and Yun Yun's voice came from inside: "It's not already said, there is nothing else, don't come to find me in the yamen. Are you confused? What's the matter?" In other words, can't we wait until the old man has placed the value?"

The speaker was a skinny man in his forties, because he was facing the window and looking at the Yinxian County Government across the street, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

Zhao Gao stood behind him with his body bowed, not daring to vent his breath.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Only then did Zhao Gao let out a long sigh of relief, and muttered for a moment: "Bo Ren Tang's business has plummeted, and since Sun Qi of Tongji Pharmacy recognized the nephew of the case leader, things are booming now, and the matter of Haining Wei, my lord must be sure." I have also heard that since that incident, many people in Ningbo City have regarded him as a miracle doctor, and there is an endless stream of people asking him for a doctor, but Bo Ren Tang is now empty..."

"Oh, you're talking about that Ye Chunqiu? This person... the old man knows a thing or two. He is the new chief of the case, Xiao Sanyuan. He has been in the limelight recently, and he is a formidable young man."

Zhao Gao frowned and said, "But right now, Bo Ren Tang is a bit unsustainable. Today, Ye Chunqiu came here to pay back the previous debt, Tong Ji Tang..."

"It's just these? Since they are so prosperous, isn't it a matter of course that they will pay off their debts at the end of the month? Could it be that you didn't expect even these?" The person with his back to Zhao Gao spoke with a bit of anger.

Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "No, no, that's not what the villain meant. What the villain meant was that after Ye Chunqiu paid off the debt, he asked the villain to pass on a word to the adults, saying that from then on, Tongjitang and Bo Rentang disagreed, and even said that he would make adults feel overwhelmed."

When Zhao Gao finished his sentence, he thought that the Master Registrar would be furious at this time, but unexpectedly the elegant room became quiet all of a sudden, and a needle could be heard.

After a long time, the chief secretary let out a breath and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, really, I am young and quite ambitious, so let's give it a try. Who will win the game is still unknown. If it is someone else, dare to say such a thing, my official I have taught his family to be ruined long ago, but this person... After all, he has been in the limelight recently, and he has a reputation, don't worry, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, let alone you and me, everything must be planned before acting. These days, you Keep a close eye on that Tongji Hall, that person’s name is Ye Chunqiu, right? Ye Chunqiu, it’s interesting..."

"Yes, yes..." Although the Master Registrar's tone was quite flat, Zhao Gao still felt the anger behind the Master Registrar's calm tone, and hurriedly said: "The villain must be keeping an eye on something, what is there?" Any news, report to your lord at any time."

The chief secretary sat down, his eyes still on the yamen across the street, and he said slowly: "Winter is not far away, but the Bing Jing of Nanjing's ministries and halls can't be delayed, Tongji Hall..." He sneered, elegantly The room fell into silence again.

………………

Hang and beat Bo Ren Tang.

When Ye Chunqiu said this sentence, there was no possibility of going back on his word.

Of course, this matter has to be discussed with his uncle.

Sun Qi didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but this time, although he was a little distraught, he didn't act as flustered as last time, but calmed down: "Chunqiu, I heard that Boren The hall is not clear about the master of the county, and it is unexpected that Bo Ren Tang is his property. It is said that the people do not fight with officials, and even though the master is a ninth-rank official, he does not offend him casually. You must be prepared in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Ye Chunqiu, however, sees farther than him: "Uncle, the director has long wanted to annex Tongjitang. Now that Tongjitang is famous and richer, will he let it go easily? Since he will have to face him sooner or later, So instead of sitting still, it’s better to turn passive into active. I’ve already thought about it, we might as well raise a sum of money to take down the shop next door, and first expand Tongjitang. Now that Tongjitang’s business is getting better and better, we can hire more people in the future Doctors and apprentices, anyway, the prescription is in our hands, and more and more people will come here to see the doctor. Now that we have turned our backs, we should simply let Bo Rentang have nowhere to go, let’s see if he can hold on live."

Ye Chunqiu's idea is very bold. Speaking of it, Tongji Hall only covers an area of ​​a hundred square meters, which is not bad as a subsistence medical clinic, but now it is famous and there are so many people seeing the doctor, both doctors and apprentices have some Insufficient, just relying on Sun Qi and Ye Chunqiu, no matter how busy they are, but once more people are hired, the shop will appear small. Since the business wants to expand, the appearance, manpower, and storage of medicinal materials must be increased. The Bo Ren Tang next door has a big face, and there are more than a dozen doctors and assistants, covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. However, Bo Ren Tang's idea can't be won for the time being, but Ye Chunqiu has his eyes on a shop on the other side of Tong Ji Tang. This place used to be a rice shop, but the business was not good. There are three entrances at the front and back, and it occupies a large area. The front covers three to four hundred square meters, and the back has a large warehouse for storing grains, and a small courtyard, with a total area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters. There are so many and the scale is very large. If this rice store can be bought to expand Tongji Medicine Hall, then the scale of Tongji Medicine Hall will be huge. A place for the doctors to rest, and prepare several warehouses for stocking medicinal materials.

The reputation of Tongjitang has been established, and no one will come to the door. The only thing missing is the scale. With the scale, there will only be more and more people seeing the doctor, but now because the scale is too small, many people wait and see. I also look down on doctors, so I simply consulted in the Bo Ren Tang next door, which undoubtedly caused the loss of patients. If the store is expanded, not only the business of Tong Ji Tang can flourish, but also the last patient resources of Bo Ren Tang can be used. snatched them all, leaving them nowhere to go.

After hearing this, Sun Qi was also moved. He knew everything about the business in the past month. The business was booming. He had no doubt that if the store was expanded, Tongjitang's income would double. The pharmacy has the most word-of-mouth reputation. Now in Ningbo, who else has the best pharmacy besides Tongjitang?

But then he became embarrassed again: "Having said that, it's just that although Zhou Dong's family of Mihang wanted to sell the shop, the price was very high. The shop occupies a large area, and it can't be done without 200 taels of silver. , but one thousand two hundred taels of silver, this..."
